where is the best place to dispose of these if they are going to break down? most items, even paper & food, don't actually break down in landfills :(

Put them out with your regular garbage. They break down in landfills which are lined and the high nitrogen poop is then slowly leached into the soil diluted with the rest of the biodegradable stuff. I live near a lagoon and dog poop is one one the major causes of algae growth.

unfortunately the landfill is the only place tout it unless you flush it like human waste

Only when they crumble or break down. Otherwise you should not replace them.

No one places greater importance on recycling than I, but I would have to draw the line here. Generally these are purchased for use in foreign-to-you places where the simple use of toilet tissue is not acceptable. I would not wish to try to "clean" them for later reuse, but it certainly could be done.

I think it depends upon where you live. I'm not 100% sure (because I don't have any more on hand) but I think they are #6 type plastic which is recyclable in some cities.

What do you mean by 'recyclable'? They last for years...when there aren't any more blue pellets left you just put them in the microwave or oven. Instructions are included.

I put ours on our recycling bin hoping they are the kind of metal that can be recycled. Perhaps you could make two mini trellises for some plants in your garden� Just a thought.

Yes they are disposable. I am not sure of they are recyclable thou. I believe so.

I just put them in a plastic bin of old family photographs decades old and expect them to work fine. I also put one in my silver chest. I'm not sure how long they typically last, but I had planned to replace them once a year. Hope this was helpful. I guess we could ask the seller how long they are supposed to last.

Answer here...i just purchase them directly on Amazon. I have read some reviewers hold onto the cardboard box frame and use a regular trash bag. I tried it once when I ran out and it wasn't a bad idea.

Mine are not stored in a plastic bag--I have some quite old and they are fine........once they get too pitted--I throw them out!

These are durable like plastic bags, and they are UNLIKE icky compostable bags. Compostable bags are great for the compost heap but terrible for your garbage can! The great thing about these NON-COMPOSTABLE bags is that over time, such as in a couple years, in the landfill, they will BIODEGRADE. This is not the same as compostable. Compostable items degrade rather quickly, given the right warm and moist conditions. ESO NO ES BUENO in your garbage can!

I don't think it is practical to reuse them. We just picked them up one at a time and put them in the trash. They weren't too heavy. We ordered one each of about five different brands and did our own test to see which one worked best. This one was not the top performer, in our opinion.

Mine go in the trash. Have never given their disposal a second thought, and I'm pretty darned green!

Maybe so. I tend to use these to the point that they are beginning to decompose. It seems like they would break down as easily as paper at that point, especially if you cut it down in size. (Our compost pile has too much brown matter to process paper well.)

You should send these out with electronic waste and not put them in the regular trash. The lithium cells, even more so than the alkaline cells, can leach some pretty nasty stuff into the landfill and water table.

How about storing it in the freezer after you empty it? might get brittle though...

I just rinse them out and put them in the recycling bins. They are completely recyclable, you just have to rinse any food out.
